Radio frequency field coil for NMR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5887453
An NMR radio-frequency (RF) coil is described which consists of: a pair of conductive loop elements disposed in a spaced apart relation along a common longitudinal axis; and a plurality of conductive segments each having at least one reactive element in series therewith, the segments electrically interconnecting the loop elements at points spaced along the periphery of each of the loops, the segments being disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis such that the resulting configuration has four-fold symmetry, wherein in operation the RF coil is capable of producing an RF field useful for performing NMR studies.
